The Canadian Hillman Prize honours excellence in journalism in service of the common good. The Hillman Prize seeks out investigative reporting that draws attention to social or economic injustice and leads to meaningful public policy change. We strive to recognize discernment of a significant news story, resourcefulness and courage in reporting, skill in relating the story and the impact of the coverage.

There is no fee to enter. There is no limit to the number of entries one publication or outlet may enter.

The 2023 Hillman Prize will be given to a reported story or series published or broadcast in 2022. Eligible entries include reporting in newspapers, magazines and online, as well as television, radio and podcasts, tablets and multimedia. Entries must have been published in Canada and/or have been widely accessible to a Canadian audience. Self-published work is not eligible.

The Canadian Hillman Prize winner(s) will be awarded a $5,000 honorarium and a certificate at our event to be held in-person in Toronto on Thursday March 30, 2023.
